Chapter 231: Chapter 227: The Blood Spider’s Trade But misunderstandings aside, even though Ling Chen didn’t mean to take advantage of her, it was still the first time that her body had been violated by someone. And, just by thinking about the embarrassing things Ling Chen had done to her, Wanqing’s face immediately turned bright red, filled with immense shame and annoyance. Even if Nanrong Wanqing didn’t pursue it, she couldn’t easily let go of that hooligan. She wasn’t someone whose advantage could be taken so easily. Achoo! On the way home, Ling Chen sneezed several times in a row. Touching his nose and thinking about what had just happened, there was a restlessness stirring in his heart. Su Lin’s figure was seriously impressive, with curves in all the right places, especially her full chest—with an extremely good feel to the touch. He really wanted to touch it again. Just as he was thinking this, a fiery red Ferrari sped up from the side of the road and then screeched to a stop in front of him. The car window rolled down, revealing a beautiful face from the driver’s seat. "Miss Kaelina?" Ling Chen was slightly taken aback and exclaimed, "How did you know I was here?" "I have my ways. Get in!" Ling Chen didn’t think too much and immediately sat in the passenger seat. Accompanied by a roar like a wild beast, the Ferrari once again hit the road. "Did you want to see me about something?" he asked. Miss Kaelina looking for him in the dead of night was definitely not just for a joyride. He always felt that this woman was mysterious and didn’t know what she was up to. "You’re very impressive." Ling Chen grinned: "Of course, I’m impressive. If I weren’t, you wouldn’t come to me for a partnership." Miss Kaelina turned her head to look at him: "I’m talking about what you did today. You actually stole Zhu Hong’s secret safe from his office." "You know every move I make, it seems you’re more impressive than me." "Cut the chatter, I want that safe. The last time I went to Zhu Hong’s office, it was to look for it." On to serious matters, Ling Chen’s smile faded as he said, "What’s inside that safe?" "I’m not sure about the rest, but I believe there should be a document mentioning an address." "What address?" "I’m not obligated to answer that question." Ling Chen shrugged nonchalantly and said with a slight smile, "If that’s the case, then I’m not obligated to give you the safe. I put in a lot of effort to steal it from Zhu Hong. I can’t just hand it over to you because of a few words." "You really dislike being on the losing end," Miss Kaelina remarked with a cold look and a hint of dissatisfaction. "Let’s be clear about our relationship. We are partners, not friends. You do me a favor, and I’ll do you a favor—that’s what partnership means." "I could be your friend." Ling Chen replied indifferently with a smile, "Miss Kaelina, friendship isn’t just spoken into existence. Considering our current relationship, we’re far from being friends." Miss Kaelina slightly furrowed her brows and asked, "So what do you want?" "Back to what I said earlier, you want the safe, that’s fine! But at the very least, give me something worthwhile, like valuable information." "No way." Miss Kaelina didn’t even think before directly rejecting his request, "The information I possess is my biggest bargaining chip in partnering with you all. Simply wanting to exchange it for a safe is too cheap for you. Besides, it’s still uncertain whether the safe contains the information I need." After a pause, she changed the subject: "How about this, you give me the safe, and I’ll help you with something." Ling Chen, intrigued, asked, "What is it?" "You have a friend who’s suspected of murder and was arrested by the police, right? I can help him clear his name." "Really?" Ling Chen’s eyes lit up. He was worried about how to save Nanrong Hao; if Miss Kaelina could help with this, that would be more than great. "Your friend was framed, and I know who’s behind it. How’s this for a deal?" "OK!" Ling Chen agreed without hesitation, "As long as you can clear his name, the safe is all yours." Hearing this, Kaelina gave a slight smile. Her right hand shifted gears, and she floored the gas pedal, instantly boosting the Ferrari’s speed. After three blocks, Kaelina didn’t slow down but instead sped up even more, running several red lights. A few minutes later, a police car burst out from a crossroad, tailing the Ferrari closely. Kaelina glanced at the rearview mirror, curled her seductive lips into a beautiful smile, full of charm. Roar roar roar! Amidst the roaring engine sound, within seconds, the Ferrari’s speed had reached its peak, leaving the police car far behind. Tsk tsk! Ling Chen looked at the woman beside him and clicked his tongue inwardly. Worthy of being the third-ranked assassin, indeed she was crazy enough. "Where are we going?" "A place that can save your friend," Kaelina casually replied. Ling Chen nodded, then sealed his lips and let Kaelina take him on a wild ride. More than ten minutes later, the Ferrari gradually slowed down and stopped by the roadside. "We’re here." Getting out of the car, Ling Chen followed Kaelina’s steps as they turned into an alley. Following the alley to the end, there was a rusty iron gate. Through the gate, Ling Chen could faintly hear the sound of intense music. Kaelina fished out two slender steel pins from her blonde hair, inserted them into the lock, and gently toggled them. Soon, the lock was opened. Entering the gate, Ling Chen saw rooms piled with a large quantity of miscellaneous items and an odd smell lingering. Past the door, the intense music became clearer. "What is this place?" "A dance hall." As they spoke, Kaelina pushed open a door, leading Ling Chen into an abandoned kitchen. Ling Chen surveyed the surroundings and noticed an iron door to the east of the kitchen, which had been welded shut and couldn’t be opened—the intense music was coming from behind that door. "This used to be a restaurant, but then it was turned into a dance hall." "Why was the kitchen preserved?" "Because someone bought it from the dance hall owner." After saying that, Kaelina walked straight to the door of the freezer and removed an iron plaque hanging on it, revealing a row of numeric keys. Seeing Kaelina entering the password with familiarity, Ling Chen was somewhat surprised and asked, "You’ve been here before?" "Once. Not only you were monitoring Zhu Hong, but I was also keeping an eye on him. However, my main target isn’t him, it’s someone else you’re familiar with." "Zhang Xueli?" Ling Chen’s thought immediately went to this woman. Kaelina nodded, reached out to grasp the freezer’s doorknob, and gently twisted it. Click! With a soft sound, the freezer’s door opened as expected. Kaelina lifted her foot, ready to step in. But at that moment, as if she remembered something, she suddenly turned back and said to Ling Chen, "How’s your psychological endurance?" Ling Chen didn’t understand why she would ask that, "The psychological quality of those in our line of work is never bad." "That’s good, because I’m afraid you’d be scared by the scene you’re about to see."
